Amazon thought people would say "Hey Alexa, buy more paper towels, a pack of soap, rent breaking bad season one, and tell me about the top rated blender in the store"
Instead people say "Hey Alexa, set a timer for 10:00"
- jorvi 2y agoThe funny thing is, if it wasn't Amazon that Alexa was ordering stuff from, you could bet your ass people would have been using it like that. But because Amazon sells used diapers, counterfeit items, can have gigantic price swings for some items, and has reviews that are gamed to the gills, no one would ever want to order from there blindly.
- mrweasel 2y agoI don't think Amazon management is aware of how bad their site as gotten.
- taskforcegemini 2y agopresumably because they have people shopping for them
- notinmykernel 2y agoAmazon management is very aware. They just do not care. Legal has even instructed teams in this regard. I hope FTC will drop the hammer on Amazon.
- duxup 2y agoBy a mile set timer is my most frequent Siri command.
- SkyPuncher 2y agoIt’s the only command that even has a chance of working consistently. I absolutely hate how these products attempt to be good at everything, and therefore suck at anything.
- jrs235 2y agoBut Alexa devices are so stupid they can't operate without the Internet. So if the Internet/Wifi goes out due to ISP issues or power loss, your devices can't set timers and any previously set alarms (i.e. wake up alarms) will fail to go off.
